When you walk through the doors of Clarity Medical Spa in Yreka, California you are greeted with soothing sounds of running water and smells of aromatherapy. You are offered tea or water by friendly receptionists, and then are ushered back to your treatment room with your practitioner. Whether your treatment is for a medical procedure, a soothing facial, massage or a nail treatment, the spa staff and practitioners do their best to ensure your experience is a pleasant one.

Clarity Medical Spa was the brainchild of Rachel Dunn-Black, M.D., a well-known local physician who left her general practice in February of 2007 to open the spa. Her vision was to create a calming environment to encourage relaxation and healing, but also a place to perform cosmetic procedures. She began the spa with just a receptionist and now the spa houses two massage therapists, four aestheticians, a nail technician and three office staff.

The medical procedures at the spa are all performed by Dr. Dunn-Black and include Botox, Restylane and Juvederm injections, CoolSculpting, laser for permanent hair removal and improvement of superficial facial and leg veins, laser for removal of age spots, Ultherapy for skin tightening, BroadBand Light treatments for diffuse pigment improvement, laser resurfacing for improvement in skin texture, pigment and wrinkles and also cosmetic mole removal. Dr. Dunn-Black is especially proud that she owns the top of the line lasers for all of these procedures, quite an accomplishment for such a small county. With many years of training and experience she is able to offer impressive cosmetic results, often at a fraction of the cost found in larger cities.

“We commonly are told by clients they are surprised to find this sort of facility and the breadth of procedures in such a small county,” said Dr. Dunn-Black.
